Mi dia favorito

Mi dia favorito de la semana es el viernes. Trabajo en una tienda hasta las cinco de la tarde. Cuando termino, camino diez minutos hasta la plaza y veo a mis amigos. A veces cenamos pizza y otras veces comemos tacos. Si hace buen tiempo, damos un paseo por el centro. Luego vuelvo a casa contento y descanso.

Past habits and future intentions

Antes iba al cine.Voy a trabajar en un hotel.Vamos a viajar en julio.
